Obtaining product repositories for installing the product on z/OS

WebSphere® Application Server Version 8 products are distributed as IBM® Installation Manager repositories. These repositories contain the metadata and files that are required to create one or more levels of a particular product.

Fix packs, feature packs, and ifixes can also be downloaded directly by IBM Installation Manager from a central IBM service website as needed.
